On “The Real Her ” Drake Praises A Female Stripper For Her Independence And Being Able To Take Care Of Herself. Even Though They Barely Just Met He Sees Himself Falling In Love With Her. He Comments On Some Of The Similarities This Woman Has From His Old Flames And That She Has Something Special That He Wants. He Even Goes As Far As Wanting To “save” Her Despite His Friends' Warnings Not To Do So. Lil Wayne Continues Drake’s Sentiment In His Verse. While He Does Acknowledge That This Woman Has Slept Around With Other Rappers Before He Still Wants To Be With Her And Wonders What It Is About Her That Makes Her Stand Out. On The Final Verse We Have André 3000 Who Provides A Somewhat Contradiction To Drake And Wayne’s Verses. Although He Feels Something Towards This Female Dré Plays It Safe By Not Messing Around With Her In The Case She Only Wants Him For His Money Or Has Any STDs. According To Songfacts Producer 40 Explained To MTV News “What Ends Up Happening A Lot Of Times With Our Records Is That Because I Can Do A Lot Of Things In The Studio Whether It Be Play Instruments Or Produce Or Edit Or Run Pro Tools Or Edit Vocals Whatever The Case May Be I Help Him Get Out His Ideas. I Think That’s The Goal Of Any Good Producer Is To Make Sure The Artist Is Delivering What They Want.“ According To T-Minus T-Pain Does The Background Vocals On The Song “With “The Real Her ” I Loved What 40 Did On Those Keys. I Was At The Studio And I Remember T-Pain Pulling Up And Adding Some Vocals To The Record. A Lot Of People Don’t Ever Notice It. T-Pain Is Kind Of A Ghost On The Record He’s In The Background Singing Low Melodies. I Was Blown Away Watching Drake Direct Pain And Telling Him What To Write About. I Really Saw His Intelligence As A Songwriter.“ T-Pain’s Contributions Can Be Heard During Drake’s Verses & The Chorus.
